But I don't like your smugness, OP. Some humans just need antibiotics more often, and it's not their fault, not their parents' fault, not the doctors' fault.

DP here. Smugness? This is more of a conversation about how they’re prescribed. I don’t think it has much to do with parents. [/quote]

As a pediatrician that sometimes spent half of my day, 10-20 years ago, convincing people that their kid didn't need antibiotics, getting "fired" by parents for refusing to prescribe them for viral respiratory stuff, getting phone call after phone call about "but her ear hurts can't you just send in a prescription for her without us coming in???", and dealing with SO many angry moms, it's hilarious to me that now when I try to prescribe an antibiotic for a condition that truly requires it, like a febrile UTI in a 6 month old, I get "well she's so little and I don't want to put that in her body".  You people can never just be happy [/quote]

I thought that wasn’t happening as much anymore. But, yes, I almost mentioned that in my post. I do recall people saying that their kids need a “z-pack” whatever that is and they’re going to find a doctor for it. That’s no bueno.

But there is no such thing as “you people.” We’re all different people [/quote]
